A Saudi Arabian banker plans to create an Islamic megabank, saying it would have $1 billion in capitalisation.  The Islamic financial sector, while growing rapidly, has been hampered by very shallow secondary markets and limited financial products.

Growth has been hampered. Nothing like interest on money to get growth growing.

Capitalism can no more be 'persuaded' to limit growth than a human being can be 'persuaded' to stop breathing. Attempts to 'green' capitalism, to make it 'ecological', are doomed by the very nature of the system as a system of endless growth. -- Murray Bookchin
